Great services and staff. Helped me move between states from MA to NY with no issues, and were very helpful in packing up my furniture, nothing was damaged and everything went very smoothly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for moving services!
Great experience today with Stan and the crew. They took great care of my stuff and managed to get everything from Dallas to Houston same day. 5 stars easy recommendation.
Alex and his team did a great job of moving us from one house to another, and also stopping to pick up stuff from a storage unit. They were efficient, and wrapped all the furniture to where we were not worried about it getting damaged. I will definitely use them again soon!
Honestly great experience Boston to NYC; they were super efficient, careful with our stuff, very flexible, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend and use again
Aibek and his team(s) in Boston and New York made this move easier than I ever could’ve imagined. They moved oversized and delicate furniture from two pickup locations to one drop off on a major street in New York and came in below any other quote we had by a good amount. Communicated well in the days leading up to and on the day of the move. Definitely worth it!
Great and smooth moving experience Great and smooth moving experience! Ismail was very accommodating and quick! Will definitely look to WellKnown Moving in the future!
Ismael and his team were fantastic Ismael and his team were fantastic; excelent service. They were on time, super organized and everything was packed perfect.

I share with all my VA family and friends their phone number and if its possible to request Ismael and his team.5 stars
